NOT ANOTHER DOG BLOG!
Yes, it is. This blog celebrates the life of my late bulldog Tugboat (of course; did you expect another breed?) and other canines.

Digby's new friend

Kitty-corner, or should I say doggy-corner, from our house is Zephyr's house. He's a black lab whose a big galoomp and friendly. Digby took to him right away and whimpers when the Big Z is outside on his porch. I have no great clue as to why Digby likes some dogs right away and others not so much. He does seem to have a preference for black dogs, as well as old and infirmed ones (not a threat). Susie, of course, is fine with the whole setup, because she likes just about everybody.

It's interesting, isn't it? Our Mastiff Ozzy had three canine neighbors but only took to the Chow mix whose name was Cody. When Cody died, Ozzy waited for him at the fence for a long time and he never really took to the other two.

Tugboat will live forever

The rare and elusive Swamp Pig

The big guy in yet another appealing visage. Here he cools off and gets muddy at the same time.

Josie

This is Josie, our latest full-time addition. She is a former puppy miller and a BROWN Boston terrier. Maybe a recessive gene caused this, but she's darn cute!

Our new foster, SusieQ

This is our little foster dog, SusieQ, a tiny pug. Digby is still a bit jealous. Tugboat is fine with her, as is Josie. So, we will have to work on Digby.

Digby and the UglyDolls

Digby, like many small dogs, creates makeshift caves out of whatever's available. Here he hides among the UglyDolls.

Tonka, R.I.P.

This is Tugboat's little "brother," Tonka, as a puppy. Tonka came into our lives about six years ago, and died unexpectedly last summer following a dental extraction. I miss the Big Pig/Little Pig combo.

Tugboat Kravitz

This is Tugboat's version of Lenny Kravitz with a longer 'do, which I created with Animal Planet's "Pimp Your Pooch" e-mail.

Tugboat of the Caribbean

This is Tugboat's version of Johnny Depp, courtesy of Animal Planet.

Digby

Digby is Tugboat's "little brother." He replaced the pug Tonka, who died in 2007 after tooth surgery. Digby actually gets Tugboat to play--no small feat--and licks his dirty eyes, ears and jowls to keep him looking spiffy.

Couch zeppelin

Here Tugboat slobbers up my slipcover; now I have a leather couch.
